mmmh the Romans spoke latin, not italian...
although the italian is very similar to latin, much more than french and spanish (other languages derived from Latin).
1600 years after the fall of the west roman empire, in large part of its territory is still speaking neo-Latin languages ...
seems that the empire of the East has fallen before the empire of the West..
however, does not seem right to give to Romans an italian lenguage.
if you want to know the Latin, ask to a Catholic priest, he certainly knows it.
Once the fallen Roman Empire, only the Holy Church has continued to speak Latin in the world.
